This study was examined the effects of social capital influenced on health related quality of life of old-old-elderly of more than 70-year-old. The subjects were 258 people of old-old-elderly of more than 70-year-old who dwell in M city. The first, October 15 to November 15, 2013, the second, December 1 to 30, 2014 were surveyed. The data were analyzed with SPSS Statistics 18.0 and the structural equation modeling of AMOS 21.0. The Sobel test was conducted to analyze the statistical significance of the mediated effects. The factors of health-related quality of life were influenced significantly by gender, education level, whether or not exercise, amount of sleeping time, family can be a help request, relatives can be a help request, general trust. In the results of the test of the research model, social capital was found to directly affect health behavior, and health behavior was found to directly affect health related quality of life. Therefore, social capital was found to indirectly affect health related quality of life. Social capital of old-old elderly of more than 70-year-old can be recognized as one of the factors influencing their health related quality of life. The results suggest that policy should be established to increasing the level of social capital and improved the health related quality of life.

70세 이상 후기노인의 사회적자본이 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 M시의 70세 이상 후기노인 258명에 대해 1차는 2013년 10월 15일부터 11월 15일까지, 2차는 2014년 12월 1일부터 12월 30일까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0과 AMOS 21.0 프로그램의 구조방정식 모형을 활용하여 분석하였으며, 매개효과의 통계적 유의성을 분석하기 위해 소벨검증(sobel-test)을 실시하였다. 사회적자본이 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 요인은 성별, 교육수준, 동거여부, 운동 여부, 수면시간, 도움요청가족수, 도움요청친척수, 일반신뢰가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 연구 모형을 검증한 결과 사회적자본은 건강관련특성에 직접적 영향을 미치고, 건강관련특성은 삶의 질에 직접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적자본은 건강관련 삶의 질에 간접접인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 통해 후기 노인들의 사회적자본이 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인들 중의 하나로 인식될 수 있으며 건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키고, 사회적자본 수준을 증대시키기 위한 정책마련을 제안한다.
